Bath repair in Caerau, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

Your questions about bath repair in Caerau
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Caerau
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Caerau
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
